I originally sent this to the SynthModules list and later realized it would 
be of interest to some who might not be on that list. Watch the 
cross-posting.

I've had the PSIM-1 going through its paces for about an hour and can say 
I'm very happy with this module. The voltages are stable and precisely 
1V/Oct. as far as my ears are concerned. It's a snap to load new programs. 
The whole process takes about 10 seconds. I haven't actually written any 
code yet, but it looks easy to do if you've done any sort of programming.

Brice did a great job of packing, too. Lots of bubblewrap and peanuts in the 
box, along with a serial cable and a CD full of documentation, schematics, 
code examples and sound clips.
